About the museum
Watch videoThe 2020 Youth-to-Youth Sustainability Podcast is a production of the Colorado State University students participating in the course Applied Community Sustainability (GES135), taught by Paul Cawood Hellmund of the CSU School of Global Environmental Sustainability, and which in 2020 focused on food security and other social dimensions of sustainability.
The community client for the work was Fort Collins's Museo de las Tres Colonias. This living history museum highlights Hispanic life, working conditions in the sugar beet industry, and community life, specifically within the Tres Colonias neighborhoods of Buckingham, Andersonville, and Alta Vista, during the Twentieth Century. El Museo provides insight and community support of Hispanic culture in the home, religion, work, cultural celebrations, tolerance and social justice.
